And again, - There is silence between us,
like a long sleep, like a
quiet night,
Again, - There is silence between us,
like a shadow
dancing
among
the stones, - a forgotten echo,
Silence hangs between us,
like fog in the morning,
like a bird without a flight,
between us, the air wanders like a hero,
Memories remained,
Remained,
Remained for the rain, for the lost
steps
along the alleys,
Again, - There is silence between us,
like a long sleep, like a
quiet
dead night
red palms, white sun
leaves are religiously green
red is raw
the canvas soaked
is it fire, blood
or passion
the sun vertiginous
lava alive
romantic sun experience
soaking up cataclysmic rays
raise the temperature
hang onto the assorted bark
it’s tropically airy
sip its burst of twilight
trio of trees purple-cling
as if plum vines
h
e
l
d
them together, fearsomely
to
let
go
is to disappear
into the atmosphere
red palms, white sun
the artist s t u n s
Spring
is here!
Little lambs
are gambolling
in verdant pastures.
Soon the white woolly ewes
let hungry offspring suckle.
I smile as the lamb's tails waggle
as they guzzle the nutritious milk
whilst the ever patient ewes munch fresh grass.
Golden daffodils and pretty tulips
add colour after dull winter days.
Striped bumble bees collect pollen
beautiful butterflies dance
in the warmth of the sun
Mother Nature gifts
the whole planet.
Stunning spring
I just
love!
“I just wish the world was twice as big and half of it was still unexplored.”
—Quote by David Attenborough
---------------------------------------------------------------
Three rivers meet here in ecstasy
five thousand feet above sea level
guarded by range of mountains and hills
where tea, coffee, rose, cardamom breeze
stupefies air, mist completes the drink.
With bated breath all that breathe just wait
for NeelaKurinji, fine blue blooms
blooming only once every twelve years
Will she survive more such proud seasons?
Stunning
When my soul screamed, the birds in the hedges grew silent.

For a fun vacation, I suggest San Diego might be for you
A city with lots of sunshine and warm temperatures and plenty to do
Its proximity to the border gives you lots of Mexican food choices to try
Endless beaches with boardwalks for strolling nearby
The zoo provides you with a spectacular array of animals far and wide
Balboa Park with its stunning architecture has to be tried
The biggest swap meet you have ever seen
Something for everyone I can tell because I have been
Little Italy is a part of town, and great Italian cuisine sure to delight
The old town where it all began, a taste of Mexico, a must-see sight
A few miles away Legoland can be found
Children can build things and take rides that will lift them off the ground
Coronado Resort is not to be missed with its idyllic charm and golden-era look
If you want to have a wonderful holiday in SanDiego you should book
I put my pen to paper, what should I say
Maybe comment on the brilliant sunshine coming my way
Or perhaps about life's opportunities would be a good place to start
I could write about the love I feel in my heart
I should make a list of things that are important to me
Or describe the blooming flowers so beautiful to see
Can not forget the intriguing people I run into on my walks
Interesting conversations from the characters who just want to talk
I should mention the crews that beautify our parks
Perhaps the stunning moon that comes out after dark
One thing is for sure it is the most enlighting to do
Put your pen to paper and write down what interests you
It's a beautiful evening as we wait in line to board our boat
Autumn is in the air we require a light coat
The Mississippi River waters rejoice in the glowing moonlight
We are greeted by the captain encouraging us to kick back and enjoy the night
Once aboard a flight of stairs, we must climb with a three-course dinner as our reward
The food arrives such a culinary delight with our glasses to welcome the wine soon to be poured
On deck a jazz band tunes up to create beautiful music we can dance to
Our chance to show our moves with perhaps something new
Our journey down the majestic river is about to begin
A paddle boat passes all lit up such a dazzling display
With all the stunning sights we are about to see along the way
A picture postcard we must create, lasting memories here to stay
Looking across the room our eyes make contact
A stunning lady it’s time to react
I leave my chair to walk across the room
As I draw closer the air fills with sweet perfume
The band on stage begins to play
A dance with her would surely make my day
Out of her chair, she springs and motions to the floor
Our bodies in sync with the music leaves me wanting more
We continue dancing wishing this night would never end
My heart tells me I have found more than just a friend
The evening concludes with a gentle hug and a kiss
An exchange of phone numbers this can’t miss
The brush dances across the canvas
I must create an image in a true goddess-like status
A stunning portrait of the one I love
Above her will be a flock of doves
Finishing the face those beautiful brown eyes seem to stare back
That vision enlightens me to keep me on track
The vibrant colors reflect back on me in the noonday sun
Her image seems to come to life second to none
In my final strokes I am sure I see a twinkle in her eyes
Overcome with joy I start to cry
The painting will hang on my bedroom wall it has found its place
I will wake up every morning with a smile on my face
a king bloom in spring
thousands varieties
a late summer fruit

dawn brightens the skies,
hand brushes the labent hues,
shades of gold unfold.
soft hues of blue hint,
a blush painting dawn's canvas,
cobalt night beckons.
naked moon rises,
gold arias serenade
veils of lacy light,
night light for lovers.
teasing swelling tides of love,
dawn's blond symphony
Bright butterflies love warm weather
They sometimes settle on beautiful blooms
Tall tulips, pretty pansies,
Lush lilacs, see vibrant visitors.
Little lambs drink mum’s milk
Then gambol gaily on green grass
Flora, fauna of scenic spring

spent sun sets slowly
scarlet shine saturates sky…
